CUSIP No. 178666 10 3 SCHEDULE 13D Page 3 of 7 Pages
This Amendment No. 29 amends the Schedule 13D filed by Jack Farber with respect
to shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share, ("Common Stock") of CSS
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CSS"), as such statement has been
amended from time to time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The share numbers in this Amendment No. 29 to Schedule 13D reflect a
3-for-2 stock split in the form of a stock dividend paid by CSS on July 10, 2003
to holders of record on June 30, 2003.
Jack Farber may be deemed to beneficially own 1,979,481 shares of
Common Stock (16.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of CSS, based
upon 11,813,294 shares issued and outstanding as of the close of business on
September 30, 2003, as set forth in CSS' Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003). Of that amount, he has sole voting and investment power
with regard to 1,346,661 shares of Common Stock that he owns directly and shared
voting and investment power with regard to 632,820 shares of Common Stock, which
consists of the following:
o 351,042 shares of Common Stock held directly by Jack Farber's wife;
o 198,303 shares of Common Stock held by a trust for the benefit of
David M. Farber, Jack Farber's son, for which Jack Farber and David
M. Farber are co-trustees (the "David Farber Trust"). A majority of
the trustees of the David Farber Trust is required to vote or
dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by the David Farber
Trust; and
o 83,475 shares of Common Stock owned by trusts for the benefit of
two of Jack Farber's grandchildren (together, the "Grandchildren
Trusts"), for which Jack Farber's wife serves as co-trustee with
his daughter.
The shares referenced as being beneficially owned by Jack Farber do not
include shares owned by the Farber Family Foundation, Inc. (the "Farber Family
Foundation"), the Farber Foundation, Inc. (the "Farber Foundation") and the
Farber Family Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (the "Farber Charitable Trust").
Jack Farber, his wife, his son and his daughter are members, officers and
directors of the Farber Family Foundation. Jack Farber and certain other
directors and officers of CSS are members, directors or officers of the Farber
Foundation. Jack Farber's daughter is the sole trustee of the Farber Charitable
Trust. As a matter of policy, the Farber Foundation and the Farber Family
Foundation, both of which are charitable foundations, do not vote the shares of
Common Stock that they own. Jack Farber disclaims any beneficial ownership in
the shares held by the Farber Foundation, the Farber Family Foundation and the
Farber Charitable Trust.

In addition, on November 17, 2003 Jack Farber donated 50,000 shares to
the Farber Family Foundation.
In Amendment No. 28 to his Schedule 13D, Jack Farber reported that on
July 8, 2003, he sold, for $17,850 (subject to adjustment following a final
valuation report of a financial consulting firm), all of the shares of common
stock of Delv, Inc. (the "General Partner") to two trusts for the benefit of his
children, for which his daughter, Ellen B. Kurtzman, serves as the sole trustee.
In order to fund the purchase, Jack Farber made a gift to the trusts equal to
the aggregate purchase price for the shares of common stock of the General
Partner. Based on the final valuation report, the sale price was adjusted to
$17,408. After taking into account cash assets of the General Partner (held
directly or through its 0.1 percent interest in the Delv, L.P. (the
"Partnership")), the purchase price per share of the 500 shares of Common Stock
held indirectly by the General Partner through the Partnership may be deemed to
be $28.51.
In addition, in the same filing, Jack Farber reported that on July 9,
2003, he sold, for $9,866,707 (subject to adjustment following a final valuation
report of a financial consulting firm), his 99.9 percent limited partnership
interest in the Partnership to the 2003 Farber Family Trust, dated as of
June 30, 2003 (the "2003 Trust"), of which Ellen B. Kurtzman is the sole trustee
and Jack Farber's grandchildren are beneficiaries. In connection with this
transaction, the 2003 Trust issued a promissory note, in the principal amount of
$8,866,707, to Jack Farber. Interest on the unpaid balance of the note is
2.55 percent per annum; the entire balance of the accrued and unpaid interest
and principal will be due and payable on December 31, 2011. Based on the final
valuation report, the sale price was adjusted to $9,793,439, and the principal
amount of the note was adjusted to $8,793,439. After taking into account the
cash assets of the Partnership, the purchase price per share of the 499,500
shares of Common Stock (held indirectly through the 99.9 percent limited
partnership interest) may be deemed to be $19.18.
